A Sunday Prayer 8/13/17

My heart is breaking today because of the venom and hatred that was unleashed yesterday in Charlottesville by Nazi, alt-right and white supremacist groups.

But there’s more. And I don’t like it. But it’s real. And so I must confess I’m more than just heart-broken.

I’m angry that this is happening in our nation in which so many people profess to be Christians. I’m frightened at how easily I can justify my own hate that grows out of righteous indignation. And I am saddened at how I teeter towards hopelessness in the face of a world that seems to be careening out of control.
